had persisted with cold during the night
he sailed forth, armed with shovel, fol

Americas Visiting.

There il 3 crudity in the way visiting
is made in this country which astonishes
foreigners. The Americans have q talent
for visiting. They observe not time nor
place in this matter. They come too
easily. They stay too long. Their calls
are prolonged to v%isits; their visits pro-
tracted TO infections. They come like
misfortunes. always In bsttalions. They
say show dye do. and how dye do. and
how dye do again" and they vary the
monotony by sometimes adding to all
this cumulative questioning: "Well, how
do you do ?" They stand altogether too
much on the ''order Of their going" they
never 60 81 once.
One may judge OF the amount Of civil
izst;on q man or woman possesses by the
way he or she pays Q visit. The Englis.
man says: 81 must CO." and goes. The
American says: "Well. / suppose I must
be going" and does not go-he stays. He
would keep on staying with the slightest
encouragement from his host, who is
fairly tired ont with his long-windedness.
The amount Of good nature that 10 re-
quired to keep up 9 country house in this
country. and to protect il from, not bur-
glars. but visitors. a species Of social
housebreakers, Is truly immense.

CAREER OF A CORRESPONDENT.

Henry Willard. Carecr-yyhitelav Reid.
Simultaneously with the transfer OF the
Dutch Castle" which Henry Willard built
III this city. to Whiteiaw Reid of The Tri-
bune, the former reappears in New York as
agent Of a syndicate of German bankers,
who have employed him to make inyest-
ment5 here on q wholesale scale. The con-
Germs 81 these two men have been renarka-
be and they have been simultaneous and
almost on the same fields. l first knew VII
lard in 1851 in Kentucky. where he had
gone as q New York Herald correspondent,
with the idea OF establishing /. Herald bureau
in ri -hmond. His earthly possessions at
that time were his salary and his audacity.
He employed the latter in proposing to Gen.
Tecumaeh sherman his plan of serving The
Herald IN the south, and was told that il he
attempted 10 cross the lines iuto the Con-
fedcracy he would be shot as u spy There
upon Willard got out of Sherman's depart
ment and published the story that Sherman
was crazy He made another attempt when
Gen. Buell. was in command Of the depart
ment, but never succeeded. As late as 1868
he was Tribune CORRESPONDENT.
heard little or nothing Of him after that
until about 1870, when he was getting up
y
lie had li5;le money then. His accumula-
ton of several mi.lions-in bonds and other
paper-nlust have been made between 1915
and lss3. It had all to be surrendered ex-
cept the Dutch CASTLE he had given his wife,
ana for which Mr. Reid ha. just paid about
400,0O0-about half the cost OF the unfinished
structure.
originally met 3lr Reid shortly after my
c.
Corinth, and he was there as a war CORE
spondent. He had some property in Ohio
and owned some st0Gk in The Cincinnati Ga
zette, but l fancy his pay correspondent
more than equaled his income from other
sources. He was Washington correspondent
Of the same paper after the close OF the war
and until about 1864. when he became an edi-
torial writer on The New FORK Tribune. He
bought some of its stool: at the time. On the
expulsion of John Russell Young Reid be-
came managing editor. After the death Of
Horace Greeley. whose brain had succumbed
at The almost simultaneous loss OF his wife,
his defeat for the proficiency and the knOUl-
edge that The Tribune had been sold to VII
liam Orton ana a syndicate OF capitalists,
who wished to make Schuyler Colfax the edi-
tor, SIR. Reid showed me a check for $4,000
paid him for four shares of stock, and which,
he said represented his dissolution with The
Tribune.
suppose Reid is worth 100000 or more,
winch ne has made since 1871 by personal in
ve5tments. Unlike the meteorc Willard, he
has managed to keep it AL in secure invest
Elents. There w&s another thing il which
the two men were in direct contrast. Reid
had very del, ate constitution and had to
take care OF it, and at 80 he is strong and
healthy, II not robust. Willard was of mag
nifcent physique and hardy constitution. he
has used them roughly, and at 30 he has by

The Spanish Conspiracy.

The official press organ of Senior Ruiz

which docs not express satisfaction and graft
tu5e at the announcement that the queen, on
the Recommendation OF the government, he's
resolved to temper justice with mercy. II :
an undoubted fact that the most extreme ana
utterly INSCRIPTIONS republican conSpiratoT>
desired that their dupes might he shot, IN or
der that tho reign Of the young king might
be baptized with blood They even provided
victims TO insure this. As 1t happens, the
only blood shed has been spilled by those en-
gaCed in one Of the vilest and most criminal
conSpiraci.s in modern history. When the
details Of the plot are published this language
will not be found one whit too strong. One
fact proves this. Bands Of aSsasins were
told of TO murder any officers who should at
tempt to enter the barracks and take com
mand of the soldiers, who were thus obliged
to obey the sergeants, already suborned- In
this way Gen. Velarde and Count Mlrasol
were foully assassinated--Madrid Cor. Lon
